A scatter diagram has points that show the relationship between two sets of data.
We have the following data,

where <em>x</em> is the average number of employees in a group health insurance plan and <em>y</em> is the average administrative cost as a percentage of claims.
To make a scatter diagram you must, draw a graph with the independent variable on the horizontal axis (<em>in this case x</em>) and the dependent variable on the vertical axis (<em>in this case y</em>). For each pair of data, put a dot or a symbol where the x-axis value intersects the y-axis value.
Linear regression is a way to describe a relationship between two variables through an equation of a straight line, called line of best fit, that most closely models this relationship.
To find the line of best fit for the points, follow these steps:
Step 1: Find
and
as it was done in the below table.
Step 2: Find the sum of every column:

Step 3: Use the following equations to find intercept a and slope b:

Step 4: Assemble the equation of a line

The answer is: "
11 " .
____________________________________________________ → "
x = 11 " .
____________________________________________________Explanation:____________________________________________________Set up the ratio/ proportion as a fraction:
6 cm / 48 cm = 5 cm / (3x + 7) ;
→ The "cm" units cancel out; since: "cm/cm = 1 " ;
→ The "6/48" = "(6 ÷ 6) / (48 ÷ 6) = " 1/8 " ;
→ Rewrite as:

;
Now, we can "cross-multiply" :
__________________________________________________<u>Note</u>: 
;

;
{b

; d

} .
__________________________________________________ As such:
1 * (3x + 7) = 8 * 5 ;
→ 3x + 7 = 40 ;
Subtract "
7" from each side of the equation:
→ 3x + 7 − 7 = 40 <span>− 7 ;
</span>
to get:
→ 3x = 33 ;
Now, divide each side of the equation by "
3" ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;
→ 3x / 3 = 33 / 3 ;
to get:
____________________________________________________ → "
x = 11 " .
____________________________________________________ →
The answer is: "
11 " .
